I think if you are already working in the Federal Government, an NCMA certification is probably not a value-add, as FAC-C (civilian) and DAWIA (DOD) are the certification standards to obtain. From my perspective having working for almost 11 years in Federal contracting, most agencies do not care about NCMA certification, but want to know one is striving towards FAC-C Level I, II, or III. On the other hand, if one is anticipating diversifying their Contract Management career with private sector experience, then I would think that an NCMA CPCM (Certified Professional Contract Manager) certification is a good idea and help show one's development in the field.
